Atli Már Hafsteinsson

Born in 1977 and raised in Olafsvik, Iceland. I started taking pictures as a teenager and today I have extensive and diverse experience in most things related to photography.

My interest lies first and foremost in art photography with an emphasis on documentary narrative. This combination allows me to narrate a version of „the truth“ based on my view, my interpretation and my feeling, as it can be argued that an objective representation of reality is impossible. I enjoy working with the photograph as a medium with all its possibilities and restraints.

I approach my subject of study through silence, stillness and sensitivity, with no commotion or chaos. Just a peaceful reciprocal co-operation between me and my subjects.
